Monday night after I got home, I decided to pull Christmas out from the garage. That’s where we keep it during the off season, don’t ya know?
And to get me into the Christmas spirit, I popped “White Christmas” into the DVD player and whipped up a peppermint latte. Mmmmm….
I tried to be all snazzy and creative…. but I’m not sure I have the “foam art” down just yet. Can anyone make me feel better and correctly guess what that was supposed to be??
I probably should have thought my idea through a little better, since I ended up Christmas-ing the house until 2 a.m. But, now when I wake up in the morning and come home every day I have all this loveliness to come home to…
Don’t you just love all the cheesy you made in the 1st grade? Putting up ornaments has to be my favorite Christmas activity (well, other than all the baking). It’s like going through a big ‘ol scrapbook. Each one of our ornaments has a special memory or story attached to it, and I’m always flooded with nostalgia when I break into those carefully packed boxes. This year was especially difficult for me without my parents here to join in the festivities. They’ll be with me for Christmas, but I’ve never actually put up the tree without them.
